Sandy says, << "the AAP has made a statement that..........." and go into the pluses and (potential) minuses associated with co-sleeping. >> HAS the AAP come out with an official policy statement? If so, where can I see it? Jan Barger -- who is also wondering how many babies died in cribs between the years 1985 & 1997 or whenever it was. And also, if 500 babies per year die (IN THE UNITED STATES) BECAUSE they are formula fed, why is there no warning against the use of formula? Let's see, in a 12 year period of time, that would be 500X12 = 6000 babies. I haven't seen a policy statement from anyone saying that the use of formula can potentially lead to the death of a child EVEN in the good old US of A. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
